About this blog

Scissorkick.com was born within the second wave of music blogs in the late 1990s and is guided by a soundtrack to one mode of contemporary living here in NYC. It is proudly genre-agnostic and on a continuous search for new independent rock and electronic music.

I know I’m shamefully late to the Web 2.0 party (especially considering what i do for a living) but you can now follow Scissorkick on Facebook. I will be updating the page there with news of new podcasts, special posts and events.

Warp recording artist and techno/electro wunderkind Jimmy Edgar will headline the night with support from recent BK transplant Eliot Lipp and Boston’s Matters & Dunaway, who will be playing the party for the third straight year. Maniacs!

I am thrilled to announce the second installment of what I hope continues an annual celebration of 21st century music: Scissorsound. Last year, we packed our favorite Brooklyn spot, Studio BPM, as Kudu, 33Hz and Matters & Dunaway absolutely killed it on stage

Made the successful move to WordPress and am very happy so far. Still need to figure out how to import all of my older pages from blogger (if you know how, I would greatly appreciate any insight).
